In addition to the unusual way by which Elvis drank from cups, Priscilla Presley also told Jonathan Ross that Elvis also carried his own silverware, both to a dinner party at someone else's home, and while dining out at a restaurant. Elvis died at age 42 from heart failure likely linked to drug use (via Biography). Priscilla met Elvis when she was just 14 years old, and she married him at the age of 21, as TIME explains.

As Priscilla went on to explain to Ross on his show, Elvis was a bit of a germaphobe (via Daily Mail). "He never liked to go to people's homes to eat because he didn't like eating with other people's silverware, so he would take his own silverware," she said. What made Elvis squeamish, according to Priscilla, was putting his mouth somewhere someone else's mouth had been, or something in his own mouth that someone had previously stuck inside their own. This fact also relates to how Presley drank from cups, as Priscilla explained.
